Prominence Poker is a free-to-play, virtual currency Texas Hold’em Poker game (no real money involved), which is set in the city of Prominence, in a gambling utopia founded by crooked goons and criminals....

Mass Effect: Andromeda is just around a corner, less than a week away. This is significantly less than it took the Citadel races to get to the eponymous galaxy, but let's not get too far ahead. We are...

Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach (direct link) holds true to tabletop roots, and the turn-based strategy game manages to capture the feel of the more complex strategy games that its publisher, Slitherine, is...

When I first saw there was going to be a first-person shooter based on the Space Hulk games, I was overjoyed. The typically turn-based game puts you in control of a squad of Terminators with heavy bolters,...

There has been a steady stream of Warhammer games lately, and with Sanctus Reach and Dawn of War III just around the corner, it doesn't appear this will stop anytime soon. Battlefield Gothic: Armada is an...

A new project co-written by the lead writer of the award-winning 80 Days, Meg Jayanth, was recently featured as one of the top 20 projects on Steam Greenlight, and was voted in by the community in just over a...

A new game from Delve Interactive, CHANGE, from the creators of PONCHO, will put you in the shoes (or lack of shoes) of a homeless person trying to become a better person. They describe it as "the story of...

The website for "shemnuehd.com" was apparently registered in September last year by none other than "Sega Europe Ltd." We presume that by "shemnuehd," they mean "Shemnue HD," which suggests the classic from...

You could say the latest piece of art from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a link to the past. The image showing Link sitting on a cliffside is a throwback to the opening manual for the original...

The much-anticipated "Space Hulk: Deathwing" was released on Dec. 15, yet the otherwise great game is getting a mixed reaction due to poor performance optimization, even on high-end rigs. It's unclear...

The official video game adaptation of the Call of Cthulhu pen and paper RPG is due in 2017, and developer Cyanide Studios released a few screenshots today, showing what the game, set in 1920s Boston, has in...

The original Wasteland, released by Electronic Arts in 1988, was made in a time when games were trying to allow as much freedom as possible. Some of the games of that time had a scale that would even put...

Xenonauts was a great game that fell victim to timing. It all started when 2K Games announced they were going to reboot the XCOM series, and as fan excitement quickly died down when they saw what was in store....

I tried a few times to get into Warmachines Tactics, but something about it was never quite able to pull me in—and I don't seem to be alone in this. The game currently has a 6/10 rating on Steam, and overall...

Submerged is an odd little game that takes place in a flooded city, where you'll need to sail about and scale the protruding tops of buildings to get medical supplies for your ill brother. The third-person...

Bringing something new to the FPS genre is no easy feat. Have a look at the Call of Duty series, and you'll see that even when jumping from Soviet battlefields to space-based dogfights, it's still the same ole...

With so many options available finding that right game can take a while, that’s why we have compiled what we think are some of the best iOS games of 2016 that you can download right now. When you speak to...

While I'm a big fan of the Warhammer universe, it's been a long time since I played a football game. In fact, I think the last one I played was on the original Playstation. So it was with some hesitation that...

Art is a way of bringing imagination to life, and for Ash, the co-creator of the "Draw Like a Boss" book currently on Kickstarter, this held especially true. If we journeyed back to the early 90s, back when...

If there's any one flaw in the Diablo-like action-RPG genre, it's in the combat. Don't get me wrong, the combat in Diablo II was awesome, but the mechanics of Diablo II are too often copied and re-used. With...

Look through the top of the charts in app gaming—Android or iOS—at pretty much any point, and you're bound to see some games that at least loosely employ gambling or casino themes. Sometimes these are...
